You engage my energy, you make me pay attention to my body language and my tone of voice, you cuddle even when you no longer fit on my lap (Justus) - you bring me love - your names change, most of you are hounds except for Cane and Sheila, some of you stay for a while and find your home - trumpets sound as you leave us without looking back, Dino and Sunshine, Jedi and Shiloh, to name a few; others stay, probably for a lifetime: Farrah, Monk, Cane, Stella, Cyrano...older, with different pasts, you are now safe, mostly warm, definitely well fed - you are each a piece of God on earth in fur, pointing my soul, heart and mind toward compassion, creativity, consistency, faith - you all, keepers or visitors or stayers, give me hope and consolation that my life on Earth indeed has purpose beyond myself. We forge a legacy of service and caring for animals and humans which would not be without you all here. You point my heart toward our Creator Who fills it abundantly.
